Lewis Carroll, a mean E.T., and dino-riding cowboys.

By Joey Esposito

To take advantage of our partnership with one of the world's leading digital comics services, Graphicly, we're offering up a new, simple feature to show off some great comics that might have flown under your radar in the midst of all the typical Marvel and DC madness. In addition, we'll be sure to include any righteous deals that you absolutely shouldn't miss out on.

Plastic Farm

Celebrating the weird world of alternative, Xeroxed independent comics, Rafer Roberts' Plastic Farm is an endearing and utterly weird story of a college kid with a psychotic cowboy (that rides a dino) living inside of his head. The first issue is free of charge on Graphicly, so there's no reason not to give it a look.

Fall

What if E.T. wasn't quite as friendly as you first thought him to be? That's the general concept of Fabian Rangel Jr. and Juan Romera's Fall, a graphic novel that documents the experiences of a lonely boy that befriends a stranded green alien.

Snarked

The world needs more comics for kids, and Boom! Studios' Snarked by Roger Langridge is a great new entry into that realm. If you've got a sibling or child that's looking for more great comics, this is a superb place to start. It's a fun take on some of Lewis Carroll's most beloved creations and is equal fun for kids and adults alike.
